- Episode 84: Lost in the Sands of Time
- Some days it's good to be a Davenport, some days it's very very bad. This is one of the latter. Klaude lies mouldering in a lunatic asylum after CLANNG sets an intricate and devious trap, but attempts to see the bright side of life and stay positive even when the screams of her fellow inmates keep her awake in the night-times. Emmett has hired the best lawyer that money and a Behavior Correcting Phrenology Hammer can buy and managed to get Klaude sprung for 3 hours a week on a work release program in order to do the radio show and minor repairs around the Calpurnia. The general not-nice-ness of CLANNG continues as they've managed to disable the recording equipment on board the Calpurnia. Perhaps next week we will have better news and an audio archive, but until then please enjoy the playlist of last night's show.
